assessment:24/03/2008(5%)
1. Using the principle of equilibrium when the tension in the cable AB is 85.8% of the weight of
the cylinder of mass m, while the tension in the cable AC is 55.5% of the suspended weight.
write each tension force acting on point A as a vector if the mass m is 60Kg.
ANS . TAB= -280i +420j N
TAC=280i+168.1j N

2 . Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction on the beam caused by the pin
at B and the rocker at A as shown below .Neglect the weight of the beam.
